We use keepalived to manage our Linux Virtual Server (LVS) load balancer. The LVS VIPs are setup to use a FWMARK as configured in iptables.

At the time the realservers were setup, there was a misconfigured dns for some hosts in the 10.10.35.0/24 network. Thereafter, we fixed the DNS. However, the hosts continue to show up as only their IP numbers (10.10.35.31,10.10.35.33,10.10.35.34) above.
[root@lb1 ~]# host 10.10.35.31 31.35.10.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dis1.domain.com.
OS is CentOS 6.3. Ipvsadm is ipvsadm-1.25-10.el6.x86_64. kernel is kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64. Keepalived is keepalived-1.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.
How can we get ipvsadm -L to list all realservers by their proper hostnames?
Looks like you have an issue with name resolution on your machine.
ipvsadm
usesgethostbyaddr()
every time it displays the list, so it lets your libc grab the name dynamically (call chain:print_conn
->addrport_to_anyname
->addr_to_anyname
->addr_to_host
->gethostbyaddr
).You might need to flush your caches (restart
nscd
, etc.), or fix your DNS.
